Just a bunch of people getting paid to do their jobs. No slave labour, no one got hurt and it all ended peacefully.
I can think of plenty of things for people to get indignant about but Danny Mac videos are not on that list.

Thanks for posting, watching that just illustrated how churlish certain folk were about the entire affair, he would have been asked to do it for his sponsor and being a professional did as he was asked, it's what happens if you accept the 'Kings Shilling' and it looks as if he enjoyed it so good for him.

Odd definition of professional there, doing whatever your employer asks. I've frequently had to tell my employers no, that's the wrong thing to do and I'm not going to do it.

There's a mile of difference between the traditional employer/employee relationship and that of a sponsor and a pro sportsman, particularly in a minority or niche sport where it is very very difficult to get actual cash to do the sport you love doing anyway.

So no the only odd thing was possibly defining 'professional' in regards to trick cycling, Danny Mack has broken ground, given lots of kids hope and a goal to shoot for and if that means going to bloody playboy mansions then so be it, let the whiners stew, its pretty much the green eye anyway.

And, they're off! Really, desperately tried to be offended by the original video - failed. The male gaze is an evolutionary phenomenon documented by philosophers and artists for many generations. It's not a bad thing,wwe're not talking about up-skirt photography here...

Yes, to an extent, the women in the video are being objectified ( ogled if you prefer ) but I promise you, they don't mind.

Are they perpetuating the eternal cycle of men looking at women and going "phwoooaar"? Yes. That's just the way it is.

That's not actually that different a choice as it effectively boils down to how much you want the money and what you are prepared to do to get it.

I've not watched the video and I've no real intentions of watching it either so I'm not offended by it, but attempts at justifying ogling women by saying "hey it's all evolution" or some other such nonsense is frankly ludicrous.

Nah, I'm only nibbling the bait. I think I said what I wanted to say in the last one. Not much point in repeating it.

The general consensus seems to be that an 88 year old millionaire paying young women to hang around his mansion in their skimpies and be his "girlfriends" is not at all misogynistic and actually the kind of glamorous lifestyle that should be promoted with flashy action sports videos.
